Tom. Gage's Proclamation,
Or blustering denunciation,
(Replete with defamation,)
Threatning devastation,
Of the new English Nation.---
Who shall his pious ways stun?
Whereas the rebels hereabout,
Are stubborn still, and still hold out;
Refusing yet to drink their tea,
In site of parliament and me;
. . . [18 lines]
I can, like Jemmy, and the Boyne,
Look safely on--Fight you Burgoyne;
And mow, like grass, the rebel Yankees,
I fancy not these doodle dances:---
. . . [46 lines]
